Where do newbies go to rant about the game?
Because the Reviews thread seemed to be for more formalized occasions, so I'm going to pipe up and say this now.
Illwinter game Design, you guys are exceptional. Exceptionally awesome.
I usually won't go through the trouble of finding or buying a new copy, especially since I initially found Dominion while going through a massive local garage sale that had tons and tons of games. I consider myself to be picky - to me, the glory days of TBS were long past, and current games lean toward more of the Starcraftesque build-kill-click model. Strategy games lost the meaning of strategy and became, quite literally, "how many times can you click?"
Dominion 3, however, is different. The graphics are a little less desirable, sure, but the sheer gameplay value...oh, man. You have no idea what you've done, have you? You're literally ruining the lives of good, solid 4.0 biochemistry and chemical engineering students. Hell, you've even gotten English majors that wouldn't play games hooked. I am actually afraid to introduce people to Dominion 3 now - so far, only of us (the aspiring physicist) have managed to resist it. People have commandeered my laptop and is currently running hot-seat games.
Mm, well, to be realistic, you aren't really ruining our lives - more like enriching it, since we're still getting work done on a daily basis. This game is fun, if insanely complicated. Since the garage-copied game I got didn't come with a manual, we had a whale of a time figuring out stuff. But still, even with the limited knowledge we possess, even college students can figure out that this is just amazing.
I know you probably get comments and reviews like this all the time, but please don't be surprised if you find some orders coming from New York state in the near future. At any rate, I DEFINITELY know which game to recommend for the Campus Times next month.
